ViewNX 2
ViewNX 2 is Nikon's photo management and browsing software for macOS. It allows Nikon camera users to import, organize, browse and edit photos and videos transferred from their cameras or memory cards. The app provides basic image viewing, metadata editing, batch operations, and light photo adjustment tools. It is primarily used by Nikon DSLR and mirrorless photographers as part of Nikon's ecosystem for managing image libraries.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionViewNX 2 is no longer actively maintained by Nikon. The vendor has shifted focus to ViewNX-i, a more modern successor with comparable features. ViewNX 2 does not have a native Apple Silicon build and will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you still use ViewNX 2, you have two paths forward. The simplest is to switch to Nikon's actively supported ViewNX-i, which Nikon provides for free and keeps updated with modern macOS compatibility. Alternatively, macOS includes a built-in Image Capture app in your Applications folder that handles photo import and basic browsing for any camera, including Nikon models, and runs natively on all Macs — though it lacks ViewNX 2's editing and batch-processing features. Migrate your workflow soon, since support for the Intel-only build ends in September 2028.
